Production of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid by metabolic engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Inactivation of the peroxisome biogenesis gene PEX10 was crucial in obtaining high EPA yields and may increase the yields of other commercially desirable lipid-related products and provides a sustainable source of EPA.
Abstract
Metabolic engineering of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica greatly enhances yields of omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid.
